Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A flask holds of a pure gas at and . The gas is one of (), () and (). Find the amount of gas, the molar mass and the density in the flask. Then say which gas it is.
with in kelvin and chosen to match the units of and : , or . For a fixed amount of gas, . The molar mass is .

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. , , , .
Step 1. The amount. We want , so .
Step 2. The molar mass. .
Step 3. The density. .
Check. The same molar mass follows from .
Answer: , and . The gas is ozone, .
